​ @Myth Tree I had to laugh when I read about the guy in the wetsuit passing, but wow what an adventure, thanks for sharing! Ours really was a walk in the park haha

[@OneShotAdventures]

@Myth Tree haha amazing. I'm actually tempted to see what it's like!

[@scribblesdoodles]

Been there several times the road down into Applecross is awesome 😎

[@OMOLvideos]

It's not the road that's dangerous it's the drivers. The drive to apple cross is awesome. Don't be put off it's well worth the drive. Stop at the cafe at the start and or lunch at Apple Cross Inn.

[@thedubwhisperer2157]

I passed my test in 1978 and have driven the roads in the video. I have never experienced one single dangerous road, but lost count decades' ago of the dangerous drivers I have witnessed.

[@alistercresswell6591]

Bit over the top, Apple cross is far from Dangerous you just need to be able to drive! Its fine,

[@JoshEdwardsFilms]

Bloody hell, fair play to the fella casually cycling up it 👀 again, really enjoyable mate. Well done! I felt like I was in that car the whole way up haha. Do think it's utterly ridiculous that some people think it's okay to take their camper up and down that...there needs to be some sort of toll gate to stop 'em 😂

[@OneShotAdventures]

Haha cheers mate! Heard some horror stories about campers and trucks getting stuck on those hairpin beds…

[@neom472]

Why are they driving camper vans on that little sketchy road hahaha!!!!! WHY!!!! But that view, amazing, great vid bro

[@OneShotAdventures]

They are braver than me mate 😂

[@dreams99]

Just did it in a big campervan, in bad weather. Wasn't as bad as I expected. Main problem was the narrowness of the road at some points.

[@robertkiraly4548]

Amazing video .Fantastic place.

[@jennyhamilton6301]

Done this drive last week while exploring. Scenery was absolutely stunning and weather was spot on which made it even nicer 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁳󠁣󠁴󠁿

[@jennyhamilton6301]

I carried on right over to Applecross and met the resident red deer that stay near the car park

[@andrewstevenson6540]

As long as it's not busy the pass is fairly easy for any experienced driver otherwise it can be sore on the clutch. Really enjoyed watching as Torridon is such a special place to stop and unwind for an afternoon. Some really good hikes nearby too. Well done finding the Hermits Castle 👍

[@grahamricketts-bq1ft]

I cycled this road last week in beautiful sunshine, was wonderful, even with hoards of campervans !!

[@williamcoulter5462]

The only reason it is the most dangerous road is the idiots in large motorhomes who cut up the road edges and make it even narrower, if certain publications stopped telling motorhomers and caravanners to try to drive it there would be less of these idiots who cannot negotiate the hairpins without shunting on the pass, there is an alternative route but due to the " challenge " of the NC500 they do not use it and cause havoc in the summer months.

[@alexrobinson2281]

Well said , it’s not the road that’s dangerous it’s the clowns on it !

Why didn’t you go down into Applecross? That road down to it from the summit is tricky in places.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Wanted to, but we didn't have the time sadly

[@AJT_1980]

@@OneShotAdventures that coastal road around is a bit sketchy. I did a video last week mate (Part 5) 👍🏼

[@mrgt3201]

I drove it a few days ago with my wife. We were in a 6m motorhome. We drove it in the opposite direction to you. It's definitely not one of the most dangerous roads anywhere. If you look ahead you can see what's coming from quite far away. I would guess that serious accidents on that road are below average. It does have stunning views I will agree with you on that.

[@georgemacdonald206]

You fool! Motorhomes are forbidden on the pass!!

[@mrgt3201]

⁠@@georgemacdonald206you’ve clearly never been up there. Either that or you can’t read road signs. Motorhomes are not forbidden up there. It’s and 18T weight restriction limit.

[@georgemacdonald206]

@@mrgt3201 I stay there. YES THEY ARE!! The signs are as clear as day with a big read x over motorhomes and caravans . Why is this ...1 the road is not designed for such vehicles 2 they cause rapid deterioration or the road surface 3 they can contribute to landslides on said road. What is urgently needed are road barriers with cameras to stop motorhomes from crossing over this pass. Enough is enough..keep these damn things off the pass!

[@sameebah]

That looks like a lot of fun :)

[@nanook959]

I've lived in the Highlands for 43 years. I've driven and rode this road for 43 years. It's twisty and technical but it's not dangerous. Speeds are low, road users are forced to be cautious due to the technical nature of the road. I've never heard of anyone being hospitalised due to an accident on this road. Dangerous? No!

There is a road in England not sure what it's called. Not far from Flamingo Land notorious for crashes every year there have been 20 at times. Once 3 people died on that road. Jaguar collided at 60mh with a Peugeot 306. The passenger in the Peugeot died

Done it on a GSXR 1100 in a roaring gale and low cloud . Done it on a Harley Davidson Sportster . Been all the way down on a Kawasaki ER5 with the engine switched off . Piece of piss .

[@conrad28]

To the people driving those big vans up there, we can’t reason with stupidity.

[@johnraworth8019]

We live in the Highlands. The problem isn't the very steep narrow road but the idiots in huge camper vans trying to get up there. The views are fantastic but just take an ordinary car if you want to drive it. So many vans get grounded on the steep switchback bends and if they are rear wheel drive they easily get stuck with damage to the underside of the vehicle. It's remote so the rescue services are hours away ! Local farmers need to use the road to feed livestock and when the road is blocked it's a massive drive to come back round the other way . This Is why locals get so pissed off !!!! There's enough warning signs so simply don't try to go over it in a campervan or car and caravan or you will probably get stuck and block the road for everyone else. So selfish ! Also trying to pass vehicles coming the other way can be difficult if you both cant reverse long distances !😮

Hi been over there with are motorhome if you can drive in Derbyshire you can driver any were take your time that's mane thing.

[@edwardcurrier7366]

It’s funny to me that people feel the need to make videos of driving on north west Scottish roads. I live in Edinburgh but travel around them areas all the time to go hiking and don’t think twice about it.

[@OneShotAdventures]

Lucky you

[@fishbiscuit2000]

Why on earth does everyone call it "the most dangerous road in the UK"? It's not. Stop it. It's less dangerous than any dual carriageway in the UK. The average speed on the road is around 15mph. The biggest danger is middle aged cyclists having a heart attack on the steep parts. Clickbait nonsense.

[@JayabayaOff]

Biasa ae...😊

[@jamiebhoy18888]

Nothing dangerous about the road other than the idiots on it that don't have a clue to do drive.... especially those in motorhomes that can't get around the hairpins, I'm often recovering people off the Bealach burning out the clutchs or going over to Applecross and recoving them and I can negotiate that pass with ease with a 3.5T truck and trailer.... it's simply poor driving that leads tothem having the issues up there. it's clearly posted at the bottom at the junction where the Cafe is at Tornapress camper vans and trailers aren't allowed.... but idiots will continue.
